mmoNPC

[Rycochet]

API to easily create NPCs in the world, name them, and force their behaviour.

Meant as a stepping stone for Quest providers and flavour in the world.

Plugin extensions would create specific behaviour patters such as mmoNPCGuard etc.

Should probably handle inventories and drops on death too...

I like this :P

Sounds like a neat idea, it would definitely be worth the time I think

I think it would be nice, if they could talk with Players, maybe if you do a right-click on them, or if you punch them usw...
Also it would be nice, if they du specific things like running away / say something if something happens (like they have only 10% health, or a player is in the area of the NPC.

Wanting NPCs to be able to follow the same rules as players for extra plugins such as Faction etc - which will be able to stop players from attacking them if needed too etc. Will also want NPCs to respawn (around the same place) so that consistency can be added to the game ;-)

A lot of the plans are dependent on whatever Mojang adds to minecraft - the more we can simply abuse, rather than having to write/rewrite, the better...
